CultureLabel.com has launched a range of Christmas ideas to offer you inspiration when shopping for even the most discerning friend or relative, whatever your budget.
Launched in July 2009, the online showcase presents products from 75 leading museum and gallery institutions including the V&A, the Natural History Museum and The British Museum in an online shop that is easy to access, explore and buy from.
“What we are witnessing is culture’s perfect storm," says David Gilbert Executive Chair of CultureLabel.com. "As culture takes centre stage in our lifestyle activities, consumers increasingly demand products with intrinsic meaning.
“At the same time, internet shopping is becoming central to our purchasing habits, CultureLabel.com crystallises all of these concerns into one destination.”

The range of products on offer certainly reflects some of the diversity of the museum and gallery goods represented on the site. Must-have items range from a giant triceratops soft toy, measuring 1.2 metres in height and 4m in length at the Natural History Museum, to the iconic type 302 phone, designed by Henry Dreyfuss in 1937 and used throughout World War Two, from the Imperial War Museum.
If you are struggling for inspiration for certain gifts then the CultureLabel.com Christmas Gift Guides are packed with suggestions for the bothersome boyfriends, gift savvy girlfriends and those trying to find a unique christmas gift on a tight budget.
“CultureLabel.com is going to take artistic products to the masses which are where they deserve to be, giving them the gravitas they deserve, because a lot of artists really put their heart and soul into them,” explained artist Stuart Semple.
Museums are still signing up to CultureLabel.com everyday – but don’t forget that you may still find some individual gifts at your local museum.
